Versatile Sunderland player Kieran Richardson has been linked with a surprise move to Arsenal. The former Manchester United player is comfortable playing both on the left of midfield or defence; and Arsene Wenger is reportedly considering a move for Richardson as he faces a full back injury crisis.
Recent injuries to Kieron Gibbs, Carl Jenkinson, Thomas Vermaelen, Andre Santos and Bacary Sagna has left Wenger with only makeshift full backs this year, and in yesterday's 2-1 defeat to Fulham, Johan Djourou received a red card that will keep him on the sidelines suspended.
Gunners chief Wenger has been considering a loan move for a full back, with Taye Taiwo of AC Milan heavily linked with a move to the Emirates.
But the Daily Mirror this morning reported that Kieran Richardson is a shock target for Arsenal, and that the Gunners are readying a 4m GBP offer for the pacey winger.
